It only went out to non DIGEST members. I was able to delete it from the
DIGEST feed before it went out.

In these situations, it is not clear that the message was actually sent

The best policy is to ignore such messages. Unfortunately, there is a

Let's not do it this time.

Thank you for your kind words! By and large, our community here is filled
with very nice people!
